And shout out to Rob Deutschmann, who disagreed on the survey but was actually the one to put forward a motion to send the police budget back!

Tonight @RegionWaterloo is meeting to discuss the budget. One particular policy on our survey is quite relevant: "Boost funding to police-free, upstream social services by at least the proposed increase of the WRPS budget, and keep the WRPS budget at its current amount."

Today #WRvotes for municipal representatives. The lead up to this day has been contentious— racist, transphobic, anti-Indigenous & harmful to the most vulnerable. This election will either propel this region into a safe, equitable & sustainable future or further anchor hate 1/

Our policy and survey question on sanctioning encampments came directly from Unsheltered Campaign's work! This is a great opportunity for candidates and voters to learn more about homelessness and how our region can do better.

@JamesHoweWR @m2bowman Hi James! We're a pretty small group but have connected with a lot of other grassroots orgs to use their expertise on issues. We have a Slack channel that anyone is free to join and participate in. (DM for link) We aim for consensus based decisions through discussion and debate!

As elected officials, we hope to hold them to a higher standard and expect those with an incumbent advantage to still engage with the community. Below you will find the incumbents that have not responded. The deadline is Sept 24 and we hope everyone ends up filling out the survey

So far, over 90% of survey respondents are non-incumbents! We are really excited to be able to amplify new voices in the election. Thank you also to @JenVasic2022 @JimErbWaterloo and @RoyceBodaly as you are the only 3 incumbents (out of 19) that have filled out the survey so far

@GroundUpWR @emilyskidsister Hi Jocelyn! The responses to our survey will be posted shortly! In the mean time, you can look at our vision for the region at the link in our bio. The survey we sent out to candidates was based on the policies in that document.

Transparency time. We have removed our list of recommended candidates because it was a distraction from the severity of hate targetting our schoolboards. Voting is not enough. Talk to your networks and get a group organized for your local schools. It is time to act!
